Re: HOWTO: functional eye-candy with Avant-Window-Navigator

awn is working, but the launchers that i have added will not stay in/on the dock after a reboot/restart. the applets will stay but no launchers will. the way i add launchers maybe why things are acting up. what i'll do is from the gnome menu i'll create a launcher on the desktop then drag/drop the launcher onto the dock. if i leave the launchers on the desktop and the dock awn will have them on the dock after a restart, if i delete them from the desktop(but not the dock) the said launchers will stay until i do the old off/on. this is the only way i know how to ad a launcher, due to the fact that i'm not sure how to find the commands for the launchers that i want to add.

You can just drag/drop them from the menus in fact. You can also drag from /usr/share/applications.

On the old awn when I opened say mail or FF it would appear as an icon in AWN so if I minimised it was always there. In this new version, this does not happen, can someone please tell me where I have gone wrong on this?

Same problem here. It's inconsistent; launchers that work before a restart of AWN often don't work afterward. Usually if I add a second launcher from the same place it will work; when I try to delete the duplicate from AWN manager AWN crashes and when it restarts I'm back to a mix of working and non-working launchers. These were all dragged from the menu.

I've deleted all the AWN config files that I could find and did a complete removal and installation of all AWN-related packages. Now AWN seems to come by default with a single unremoveable Firefox launcher that doesn't work.
